Dispenser system

Abstract

A dispenser system has a base. A rear mount is formed on the base and the rear mount is configured to attach to a wall. A front cover is configured to fit over the base. The modular socket is formed in the base. The pump housing is configured to fit in the modular socket as a module. The pump is mounted inside the pump housing. A liquid container bracket retains a bracket socket. The liquid container bracket is mounted to the pump housing. A nozzle bracket retains a nozzle. The nozzle bracket is mounted to the pump housing. The nozzle is connected to the pump by an exit tubing. A liquid container removably connects to the bracket socket. Liquid in the liquid container flows through the bracket socket and then to an inlet tubing. The inlet tubing is then connected to the pump.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A wall mounted dispenser comprising:
 a. a base; 
 b. a rear mount formed on the base, wherein the rear mount is configured to attach to a wall; 
 c. a front cover, wherein the front cover is configured to fit over the base; 
 d. a pump housing, wherein the pump housing is configured to fit in the base; 
 e. a pump powered by a motor, wherein the pump is mounted inside the pump housing; 
 f. a liquid container bracket retaining a bracket socket, wherein the liquid container bracket is mounted to the pump housing, wherein the pump is retained to the pump housing when the liquid container is removed, wherein the liquid container is pumpless; 
 g. a liquid container, wherein the liquid container has a liquid container lower wall, wherein the liquid container lower wall has a liquid container outlet opening; 
 h. an outlet valve gate, wherein the outlet valve gate controls a flow of the liquid from the liquid container, wherein the outlet valve gate has a gate body, wherein the gate body has an engaged position and a retracted position; and 
 i. a container adapter, wherein the container adapter mounts to the liquid container outlet opening, wherein the container adapter includes a container adapter outside sidewall and a container adapter inside sidewall joined at an adapter bend section, wherein the container adapter further includes an adapter shoulder, wherein the adapter shoulder forms a spring channel with the gate body, wherein an outlet valve gate spring is formed as a helical spring retained in the spring channel, wherein the spring channel is bounded between the gate body and the container adapter; 
 j. a neck formed on the liquid container outlet opening, wherein the neck has container thread, wherein the container thread bias the neck to a gasket mounted on the container adapter, wherein the outlet valve gate spring biases an outlet valve gate that slides along an interior portion of the container adapter, wherein the outlet valve gate releases liquid from the liquid container through a socket passage in a liquid flow, wherein the bracket socket has a socket step corner that engages the outlet valve gate to open the outlet valve gate when the liquid container is placed in the bracket socket of the container adapter, wherein the bracket socket is adapted to receive the container adapter; and 
 k. a socket extension wall, wherein the socket extension wall extends upwardly from the socket shoulder, wherein the socket shoulder rises above a socket well, wherein the socket outside sidewall and the socket inside sidewall bound the outside and the inside of the container adapter, wherein the socket well bottom forms a small reservoir that can capture liquid leaks when the bracket socket receives a new container adapter such as during liquid container changes. 
 
     
     
       2. The wall mounted dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein the base further includes a cover hinge, wherein the front cover is hinge mounted to the cover hinge, wherein the cover hinge is located at a lower edge of the base, wherein the cover hinge receives the front cover. 
     
     
       3. The wall mounted dispenser of  claim 1 , further including a battery tray opening formed on the pump housing, and further including a battery tray mounted to the battery tray opening. 
     
     
       4. The wall mounted dispenser of  claim 1 , further including a motherboard with a controller, wherein the controller is electrically connected to a first sensor and a second sensor, wherein the first sensor and the second sensor comprise a sensor assembly, wherein the sensor assembly is mounted to the nozzle bracket, wherein the sensor assembly is electrically connected to the controller wherein the sensor triggers operation of the motor. 
     
     
       5. The wall mounted dispenser of  claim 4 , wherein the base clip is formed as a leaf spring. 
     
     
       6. The wall mounted dispenser of  claim 5 , wherein the leaf spring has a lower engaging edge that engages the pump housing along an engagement edge. 
     
     
       7. The wall mounted dispenser of  claim 6 , wherein the leaf spring is configured to be snap engaged but then releasable when a user depresses the leaf spring. 
     
     
       8. The wall mounted dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein the gate body is configured to slide along the container adapter inside sidewall of the container adapter, wherein the socket extension wall terminates at a socket opening that aligns to the liquid container outlet opening where the extension flow channel receives a flow of liquid from the container and passes it to the inlet tubing that is connected to the socket passage, wherein the socket upper edge has a larger diameter than the socket opening, wherein the tubing flow channel communicates with the extension flow channel, wherein the extension flow channel is formed on a sidewall of the outlet valve gate. 
     
     
       9. The wall mounted dispenser of  claim 8 , further including an O-ring seal mounted to the gate body, wherein the O-ring seal engages a gate valve engagement of the container adapter at a gate valve guide that extends from the adapter shoulder. 
     
     
       10. The wall mounted dispenser of  claim 8 , wherein the gate body further includes a gate body base, wherein the gate body base abuts the socket shoulder of the bracket socket. 
     
     
       11. The wall mounted dispenser of  claim 8 , wherein the bracket socket further includes a socket well formed between a socket outside sidewall and a socket inside sidewall, wherein the socket well retains a reservoir of liquid.
